What the f#$@? Principal is sorry for dropping f-bomb (TNT)

That’s the approach Kelly Wedum, principal at Lyon Elementary in Tacoma, took when she gave kids a taste of their own misbehavior earlier this year.

Now, using the f-word in front of students has come back to haunt her.

The Tacoma News Tribune reports Wedum issued a letter apologizing for swearing in front of kids, but only after the newspaper started calling around for the story. In early March, she sent an explanation to parents.

It goes a little something like this, according to the News Tribune:

In that letter, Wedum said she used the profanity while she met with fifth-graders after receiving a report that a majority of students had been making sexually explicit and vulgar comments at school.

Wedum acknowledges in the letter that she “shared some of the explicit language reported.” She didn’t specify which word or words she repeated.
